Be it known that I STAFFORD LIGHTBURNE, Jr., of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Gasoline-Stove Attachments, of which the following is' a full,

' clear, and exact description,,reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of. this specification, and in whichv -F1gure 1 is anelevation of agasoline-stove with my improvement applied. .Fig. 2Iis a lop-view. Fig. 3 is a section 0? the stove-top,

in which fi s an adjustable pin or stop, L, held by a thumb screw, M, against which the finger .comes when the valve is closed, so that the person will know when the valve" is closed.

It will be seen that the pin can be moved or adj usted in either direction to agree withtlie .position of the vfinger 'on the valve-stein.
